Leanne Shapton has followed up her 2006 debut novel 'Was she pretty?' with the equally engaging 'Important artifacts...' Shapton is renowned for the unprecedented nature of her work - in form and content it is quite unique. It chronicles the story of a relationship presented in the form of auction lots - each lot detailing a particular aspect of that relationship - from beginning to failed end. That the narrative so compellingly convinces - unusual in a work that takes as many stylistic chances as this one does - bears testimony to this most original of writers.
